Do you guys notice when God answers a prayer you've prayed? I have trouble with that, I'm trying to keep a prayer journal, but the biggest ones I pray at times when writing it down is the last thing I'm worried about. I usually don't realize it until its far in the past. Apparently things are clearer at a distance.

Everytime I prayed things just got worse. It was a huge let down. Now that I don't believe I don't have any false hope so there's really no let down.

We had a lesson on prayer today at sunday and school and he talked about how you first have to be a christian, or God is not obligated to even hear your prayers and then you have to believe that God hears you and will give you what you've asked as long as you ask for something that is in God's will. It doesn't matter what a fantastic christian you are, or how much you believe you'll get it if it isn't in the father's will.

Well God hasn't given up on you and I'm sure he'll still listen. If you want to start again, pray about little things and give thanks for the good things as they happen. If you start small, it'll be easier to be persistant in the big stuff. Thats a problem for alot of people. Its hard to be persistant. Keep at it!

Exactly, you gotta though it out. Satan isn't happy about it, you think that little twerp is gonna sit back and let you do it? No, he's gonna do what ever he can to discourage you. If you hold on and beat your way through it, it will get better.

I get it, I'm telling you that I understand why and letting you know that your not the only one and that if you ever decide to, you can bounce back. I don't live your life but I get the gist of it and I do care.
